5 HOMESTEAD KITCHEN Tools I CAN'T Live Without!

[@theprairiehomestead]

I gotta know! What are your most-loved & most-used tool(s) in your homestead kitchen? Do we share any of the same favs?

[@horsebabyhehe]

The Prairie Homestead cast iron. No questions. We keep a few small birds in the house for noise and using non stick gimmicks like tefflon will KILL them! Think about what it's doing to us...

[@memawlisa]

Wooden spoons. Couldn't imagine cooking without them!

[@SLRoth]

I tried to go to the website you recommended for your spoons, but it didn't work. Would it happen to be the poldersoldworldmarket.com

[@theprairiehomestead]

I used to buy vintage stuff for decoration then one thanksgiving the power went out the night before and did not come back on. Was I ever grateful to have all that stuff, I lit the hurricane lamps, pulled the stuff off the walls and got to cooking, lucky for me I had a 75 year old gas stove and it worked without electricity. It was the most fun I have ever had cooking Thanksgiving dinner!

I am trying to switch from "collage-kitchen" to old-school family kitchen, and i have found that i really REALLY love the stainless-steal measuring cups and bowles ... Also i love my vintage Pyrex that i started collecting when i was given a Pyrex-dutchoven by my Grandmama

Gigantic stainless bowls are the best. Giant colander too

A good knife.

[@poldersoldworldmarket5642]

I agree! My knives are very important. We have a set of Calphalon knives. I LOVE them!

[@tik2123]

I am completely amazed at your videos… I never thought I’d ever attempt to get into canning, at least not for a while. But some of your videos are so simple, very little cleanup… you’ve inspired me. Thank you so much for the great content that you’re providing … I’m even sharing your videos with even friends that are experienced canners. 😊

[@alyssalindsey4364]

I can’t live without my wooden spoons! They make me so happy and I just feel like they’re a part of our family♥️☺️

[@WayToVibe]

"When you start homesteading you're going to find you need a lot of big things that you didn't need before." I agreed to help a friend make applesauce this week. I headed over with my big pressure canner (removed the part necessary to just use it for water bath canning). We had to can 8 quarts in three batches since it turns out she had no idea that her three-quart saucepan wasn't going to do the job. I didn't know she didn't own a bigger pot, but I learned to ask these important questions for next time I agree to help anyone else can something in their own kitchen!

[@rjervey]

Agree with all of your go-to items. I would add a good rubber spatula and kitchen scale to my must have -- makes measuring flour (and many other ingredients) so much easier!

[@jeanettekulick5394]

My black Y shaped vegetable peeler is fantastic for peeling winter squash - just have to be careful with the fingers.

I have a beautiful Native American pot with a short wide neck and I fill it with rice to store my wooden spoons (handle down) in ...beauty and storage all in one place. Also use small Patrone Tequila bottles on my counter for vinegar storage, pretty and very functional. Lastly, I have a beautiful wooden cylinder vase that I also fill with rice and store my knives in...and Jars, Jars, Jars (with beautiful printed labels) everywhere.

[@farmerk0341]

My cast iron is my go to cookware. My favorite is a hand me down from my husbands great grandma! She gave it to us and it was her moms before that. Next is my glass jars and canisters! I also love my wooden spoons. My husband makes them from maple and walnut.

[@poldersoldworldmarket5642]

What you said plus: glass pyrex storage containers for leftovers and side dishes, flour sack towels and high quality thick cotton towels, a good assortment of whisks, heavy stainless steal and glass measuring cups, a good chefs knife and a good meat carving knife.

[@darcycarmichael9853]

I definitely use my stainless steel bowls every day, but I also have many glass storage bowls for holding leftovers.

[@NS-pf2zc]

I honestly can't agree more. I've already declared that when we are done building, the only materials allowed will be cast iron, stainless steel, wood, or glass. I'm so over plastic, single use gadgets, etc. A tip for others: if you bulk buy or grow and dehydrate your own dry good and want to store in mason jars, you can vacuum seal them with a lid attachment for a vacuum sealer or use a brake bleeder to 15 lbs pressure if you dont have a vacuum sealer. Keeps spices amazingly fresh!

[@theprairiehomestead]

yes! I'd much rather invest in quality items that will last for years versus the cheap ones you constantly have to replace. And love the vacuum seal/mason jar idea!

[@rosejones4739]

a brake bleeder? lol, i never would have thought of that one. Good quality kitchen tools make life much easier.

[@NS-pf2zc]

I'm 61 years old my husband and I are looking for a farm to buy. We live in California and I love your kitchen items. The 5 things you mentioned are what I grew up with and still love to use. I do however think a mixer is great for me in my old age and all the health problems I have and are getting rid of them slowly. I am a big fan of Justin Rhodes and I found you through him and I haven't gotten my farm as yet. A few things came up in last year and it kept us really busy. He's a realtor and I'm a writer who loves action, fantasies and just crazy stuff. I'm working on getting my novels done and out to the public this year and probably a little next year. I enjoyed your vid and what you had to say about the vibes you get. It is truly an art to be able to love to cook. I lost that art, when I met my husband and married a cook, that I never thought would happen. He's Filipino and he cooks so well, I can't even explain. It's just great. The farm will give us fresh vegetables, meat, eggs and so much more. He was raised around animals so that helps. I was a city gal that loved my pets. I thank you and I'll go back and watch older ones and keep up with the new ones. Hugs from Anna Banana - Big smile here!

Wow! Jill, I haven't seen you for 6-7years. You were my very first blogger I subscibed to. I did not realize you were vlogging now. I have been away from computers for a few years caring for my daughter who fell on our fireplace hearth and hit her eyebrow area. As she was growing she would complain of headaches and at that time we assumed they were headaches. When she turned 22 the pain became constant and severe. She is now 27 and from these past 6 years of doctoring all over, she recently had 5 neuromas removed, and the Dr. believes there are a few more to be removed. Finally getting to the cause of her pain. Anyway, it's so great to see your channel, and now that I found your channel I can't wait to catch up on all your videos. You inspired me to homestead at a later age, of 46. Also, love your kitchen. I too have the rustic hickory cabinets. You have a beautiful home.

Vintage crocks, old baskets and boxes are a great thing to have as well. I use them to hold all the stuff I am constantly grabbing during cooking, like spoons, measuring tools, towels of all sorts and they create such a nice warm look in the kitchen. Another essential is a set of good quality knives, butcher block and cutting boards. Who has room for decorative items is a working kitchen?? The tools naturally become the charming decor. 😉

Good for cooking bacon & i use 2 when i am making stir fry. All mine have come fm thrift store or garage sales. Even had some made fm Amazon seller but they weren’t pointed enough. 3. Restaurant Ware !!!!!! Especially love the large platters. Dishes, cups & saucers & individual casserole dishes.

My most favorite utensil, apart from the ones you have as I have them too, is my gas cooktop. It saved me during a 27 hour power outage when I first moved to the area. I was able to boil water and make several dinners. I would strongly encourage anyone to get a gas cooktop if they are remodeling a kitchen. I also use it for canning.

[@sagpwe6559]

Would like to share something with you that works well for me. Sprinkle baking soda on stains in the dutch oven, then spray vinegar onto all baking soda. Let mixture sit overnight. Scrub lightly. Removes most stains. Great video!!! Thanks for this information!

[@pennygioja7984]

The number one best item is my sink--a stainless steel double tub with stainless drainboards on each side. It is absolutely priceless! We bought it at a restaurant bankruptcy auction. It can handle the huge pots and pans with ease, and especially the 5+ gallon milk pail from our milking system.For washing small items like dishes, we just put in plastic basins, one facing down with one facing up on top on each side. Other than the sink, the most used items are our grain mill, KitchenAid commercial mixer, Instant Pot, and Cuisinart food processor. We finally wore out the first Cuisinart I inherited from my mom. But, we also keep critical items in case the electricity goes off.

My new 6 quart Crock Pot. I love it for making dried beans. You CAN make any dried bean in the a new Crock Pot because they cook from the bottom and sides, with NO presoaking. I rinse my beans in a colander, dump then in the Crock Pot, add the ham bone or ham hocks, cover the beans with water, and add your normal seasonings. Turn on to HIGH for 4 hours, then reduce to LOW. They are delicious and you do not have to watch them. i also make all my roasts and stews in it to.

[@annecaunce]

We don't really do homesteading in the UK, but I've always wanted a farmhouse style kitchen which I guess is a similar thing. Unfortunately, I live in an ordinary semi in an ordinary street in the middle of am ordinary town, but, like you, I have a cast iron Dutch oven, lots of wooden utensils, some of which I've been using for 30+years and glass jars of oats, sugars, nuts, pasta etc and all my pans out on display. My whole kitchen is probably the size of your laundry room and over here we tend to have washing machines in the kitchen, so I haven't got much cupboard space, but I like to make sure that they are always fully stocked with lots of choice. I especially love my herb and spice racks and currently have a selection of about 40, all of which I use. I definitely couldn't manage without them. Well, those and my coffee maker. 🤣

These tubs Behrens 3-OV 16-Gallon Oval Steel Tub from amazon fit’s perfect on the burner’s coming to a nice rolling bubble with wood coal management...he also deisgned and lade me seperator so after I put in my first layer of jars I can do a second layer….we own 150 acres so canning is a BIG deal for the 150 mouths to feed (campground on site for the hired helpers usually couples homeless from hurricane Michael) it’s rustic but we make it work so neighbor’s are taken care of and fed. We have several aves of income for the worker’s also so they can chose which area they want to go into and work.

Once I started cooking real homestyle meals, I realized just how ill equipped the average person's kitchen is (mine included at the time!), especially living in the city/suburbs. I had to acquire a dutch oven, a skillet pan, numerous large bowls and pots, baking tins (for muffins and bread), and some proper knives for prep work. But in the end, it's all so worth the investment being able to make hearty, healthy, large batch recipes that'll keep for months in the freezer and keep our grocery budget low. I'm not a homesteader myself, but so many of the principles can carry over to the average household to help instill positive lifestyle changes and drastically improve one's diet. Love your videos!

While I don't have a homestead kitchen, I do wish I did! My absolute must is my FoodSaver vacuum sealing system. I love how easy it is to immediately seal everything, especially when I open big cans or bags of things I'd like to keep fresh but don't use all that often...or when I make a big casserole and can portion it properly and pop those bags into the freezer. I also love my 1/2 gallon mason jars (that I use to dry-can my dried foods). And my 2 big magnetic knife racks full of some really great knives. I also love my Chantal stainless steel pots and pans; they hold the heat evenly like my cast iron ones but are much easier to clean (and to lift). Got drawers full of utensils too...wooden spoons, silicone spatulas, whisks, huge stainless steel ladles/tongs/spoons/etc. Okay, so I'm a cooking geek...a frustrated one, with a tiny galley kitchen. My ginormous stainless steel bowl set is packed...along with half of my kitchen gadgets. Love your cupboards, BTW; natural wood is so beautiful.
